North Korea fires another missile over Japan

North Korea fired another missile over the northern Japanese island
of Hokkaido on Friday morning, just a day after Pyongyang threatened
that the four main Japanese islands “should be sunken into the sea” by
its nuclear bomb.
This was the second time in less than three weeks that North Korea
sent a projectile over Japan, and the missile firing immediately sparked
angry reactions in Tokyo and Seoul.
The missile was launched from the Sunan airfield just north of
Pyongyang about 6:30 a.m. local time, Friday morning, South Korea’s
Joint Chiefs of Staff said. It flew for 17 minutes, passing over
Hokkaido and landing some 1,200 miles to the east in the Pacific Ocean.

The launch immediately triggered emergency alerts in Japan, with text
messages and loud speakers telling residents along the missile’s
potential flight path to seek shelter.
The Japanese government warned people not to approach any debris or
other suspicious-looking material, a reflection of the fact that North
Korean missiles sometimes break up in flight.
It comes as North Korea threatened to nuke Japan and reduce the US
'to ashes and darkness' in response to the latest sanctions imposed by
the UN.
Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, condemned the latest
launch and reiterated that Japan would “not tolerate” North Korea’s
actions. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had asked his government to “prepare
for any contingency,” but Japan did not try to shoot down the missile.

'Japan can never tolerate this repeated
provocative action by North Korea,' Tokyo's government spokesman told
reporters, adding that the country will make an appropriate response.

'We have strongly protested to the North,
telling them the strong anger by the Japanese people and condemn with
the strongest words possible.'

Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono said he believes the latest test was of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
